Abstract:
From 1992 to 1994, virtually the entire Syrian Jewish community emigrated to New York City. To facilitate their smooth adjustment, resettlement workers employed a culturally sensitive approach, modifying policies and procedures to accommodate the needs of the Syrian Jews. This experience confirmed the importance of providing resettlement experiences that are congruent with emigres' culture.
